We’re gamers.

not sure about this one but something should be done for sure

Rolling Stone and other major outlets really have a lot of blood on their hands in popularizing and iconifying mass murderers. They weren’t the first to do it but the compulsion so many have to post and spread a murderous shitbag’s videos and manifestos and make him as big as he wants to be is staggering, especially when future ones expect to get that level of attention.

[benjipwns]

Why do they always think that if you try to silence the motives that the actions won't happen? Should the perpetrators of such things just never not be mentioned at all in public only behind the scenes by cops and the state? How would they say "sounds about white" or allege it's the fault of YouTube or free speech in general when they're identified then?

Is their thought process that perpetrators of mass violence would think "crap, I can't post my gibberish manifesto, guess I'll just become a proper member of society instead"?

I think the logic is because some part of the shooters are attention whores to begin with. The twitch shooters were specially bad in that, the asshole in the New Zealand acted like an asshole during his trial.

[benjipwns]

I think you're going to get that from anyone who is trying to justify mass violence though. Very rarely do they excuse it with "I just wanted to kill people" which is some real Joker shit.

ResetERA.com and the like also claim to be experts on everything but I'm pretty sure that most every criminologist and researcher and so on says that not only are copycat shootings not a thing that happens but that all this information is important on helping to solve cases and prevent future ones. The best most famous example is the Unabomber who was never caught and they were totally stumped until they actually put his manifesto out to the public after refusing forever and his brother instantly said "oh, that's Ted."

I've been cycling for a while now. Mostly on a hybrid. I wear regular clothes and while "proish" cycling looks cool, it's not something I'm thinking of doing right now. I deal with these types a lot in NYC many bike paths.

I don't mind being overtaken, just like driving. But these types are always "On your left!" and all the BS. Like, I'm going in a straight line, my dude, overtake me. But it's not even that, many tend to curse and swear under their breath, expecting me to stop or something. Go ahead, mofo. I overtake folks a lot as well. Kids, parents, slower cyclists, I don't need to scream like a jackass and curse to overtake someone. But these assholes act like their shit down stink if you just mind your business. One flipped me the bird. Like WTF?!

I don't drive much, but it makes me understand road rage lol.

But it's always the same with these types.

That said there are many cool Lance Armstrong cyclists are don't act like primadonnas, but it's always these assholes that act like they own the bike lane.

First of all, I am middle-aged, overweight and slow as shit, so no chance I'm that guy being the bike path bully.

Second, the clothing thing is just a dumb complaint. Sitting on a bike for hours on end in regular clothes is uncomfortable and stupid. If you ride more than 5kms at a stretch, you need decent cycling shorts at a minimum otherwise you're going to be in pain. Plain clothes on a bike in summer in a place that actually gets hot and has some hills is a recipe for disaster.

He's does kind of have a point to a certain extent though. There are a lot of downright fucking idiots who ride. However, there's nothing worse than some douchebag who thinks they need to be sat in the middle of the bike path going slow as balls who waits until the last second to bother to move over and then gets indignant that someone called out to warn them.

Many dedicated bike lanes have two way traffic, so overtaking can be hairy at times. Plus, many beginners or occasional cyclists are just not that aware of their surroundings, so passing someone at speed who is cruising along at a slow pace can really freak them out, so calling out is common courtesy (although a bell is a better option), and a good way of avoiding a crash. It's also good to remember that the slower your pace, the less of a straight line you will be able to keep as well.

I'm going to say that this guy just sounds like a typical Reeeeeeseteran who likes to arrogantly complain about everyone else while being completely in the wrong.

"Women can have penises"

"Yes."

"OK, are you a woman?"

"Of course."

"So can I call myself a woman?"

"No, you are a 'vagina haver' or 'person who menstruates'."

"OK, so having a vagina means I'm not a woman."

The transtisties don't understand that there's a difference between how normal people talk and legal texts. Sure you might want the insurance company to use such 'inclusive' language but everwhere else it's just dumb.

We don't use the term 'blunt object' or 'sharp object' either. We just say 'hammer' and 'knife'.

My mom literally could not breastfeed me. Her milk was soured and unviable for me. Many people who can give birth are like this; incapable of lactating due to medical reasons, or their milk is not healthy for their child, or they just don’t produce enough to feed a child. Also lactation can stop at any moment. It doesn’t last forever, but a baby still needs to feed. What a fucking stupid woman.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/61346517


Transgender athletes: What do the scientists say?

Holy shit at that article.

Ross Tucker is a sports scientist who says the physiological differences established during puberty can create "significant performance advantages (between men and women)".
Joanna Harper is a sports scientist and is transgender herself. She studies the effects of transition on female transgender athletes.

Advantages are not necessarily unfair, and let me use two examples, one where the advantages aren't unfair and one where they are.

Left-handed athletes have advantages over right-handed athletes in many sports. It is perhaps most marked in fencing where 40% of elite fencers are left-handed versus 10% of the population is left-handed.

But right-handed fencers and left-handed fencers can engage in meaningful competition despite the advantages that left-handed fencers have.

However, you never put a big boxer in the ring with a little boxer, no matter how good the little boxer is. No matter how hard the little boxer works, trains, how competitive they are, they can't beat a big boxer. The size difference means there's no such thing as meaningful competition between big boxers and little boxers.

So the question isn't 'do trans women have advantages?' - but instead, 'can trans women and women compete against one another in meaningful competition?' Truthfully, the answer isn't definitive yet.

Trans women can have disadvantages because their larger frames are now being powered by reduced muscle mass and reduced aerobic capacity, but that's not as obvious as the advantages of simply being bigger.

Yes, it's true that competition can often come down to a very small margin, but there are, in any competition, many factors that come into overall performance and just saying that 'oh, somebody has an advantage' in one factor doesn't necessarily determine the outcome.

Meaningful competition. Not equal competition. Got it. And even then, the answer isn't definitive.

When boys reach the age of 13-14, things start to change physically and we see increased muscle mass, bone density; [it] changes the shape of the skeleton, changes the heart and the lung, haemoglobin levels, and all of those things are significant contributors to performance.

Lowering the testosterone has some effect on those systems, but it's not complete, and so for the most part, whatever the biological differences are that were created by testosterone persist even in the presence of testosterone reduction - or, if I put that differently, even after testosterone levels are lowered.

It leaves behind a significant portion of what gives males sporting performance advantages over females.

One talks about right handed vs. left handed in fencing and then another example of body sizes in boxing. The other talks about the ACTUAL fucking biological effects of puberty.

This helps to convince me the BBC is transphobic, because it had to be setting up the transgender 'scientist' to fail that badly.

[Potato]

This was my favourite section:

Should transgender women be banned from women's sport?

The point of the women's category is to exclude male advantage, which comes as a result of testosterone.

Until it can be shown that that advantage doesn't persist or exist in trans women, then I would say that there's no basis to allow trans women in.

The point of all that is that if there were no evidence at all, I would say that an exclusion policy would be the prudent start point.

However, we do have evidence - we have 13 studies that show significant retained advantage. We have a number of other studies of males with lower testosterone levels with prostate cancer, we know what happens with training, and so I think collectively the picture is quite strong to suggest that advantages are retained.

Finally, I think that what that leads to is the prediction that over time you will see athletes like Lia Thomas and Emily Bridges, so they are in effect the manifestation of what we know will happen physiologically.

So I would be quite confident at this point that a policy that regulates women's sport by excluding male advantage, which includes trans women, is the evidence-based one.

It's not impossible that in time evidence will emerge to challenge that and then we can reconsider that, but I think [the IOC] got it backwards in the beginning by allowing it in until proven otherwise. It should have been excluded until it could be shown that the advantages can be removed.

The science is in its infancy and we are not going to have definitive answers for probably 20 years.

There are some, including the IOC, that have said until we know [more] we shouldn't restrict trans athletes.

What I would say is that until we know for sure, sport's governing bodies should do the best they can with the data that exists, with the knowledge that we have today, with the understanding that any policy they create now should be subject to change one we get more data.

So for instance, World Athletics has said that once transgender women reduce testosterone for 12 months, they should be allowed in. That's not a perfect policy - nobody is saying it is - but World Athletics has said this is the best we can do with the available science.

That I think is a more reasonable approach than either saying there shouldn't be any restrictions on trans women or we shouldn't let trans women in until we know for certain.

The next time some fucking idiot on Resetera trots out the "study" that definitely proves trans women have no unfair advantage, they should be told to STFU.

It's amazing how all these irrelevant women all turn to vengeful fascism just to try and get anyone to pay attention to them again. Imagine how entitled these narcissists must be to think anyone cares what they think and are obligated to take their feelings seriously as if they're empirical facts. Like what kind of person gets this bent out of shape that other people are living their life refusing to do as they say even when they're not around. TERFs are such a dangerous cult because they don't care about anyone but themselves and pursue authoritarianism trying to stamp out anyone who might dissent from their groupthink even when the groupthink is blatantly unhinged. The worst part is that these lunatics probably will never reflect on the people whose lives they are harming and will pretend they were always on the right side of history when the fad passes and the progress of humanity reveals their current support of fascism to be deranged as can objectively be seen currently.

Assuming they don't get their way and have all of us who refuse their Christofascism genocided in the name of capitalism like they constantly are demanding.

Only protestants don't show the Christ on the cross. Every other christian sect does (Catholics, Copts, Orthodoxes, and so on)

And the Christ on the cross doesn'T nullify the resurection as it's a core tenant/belief of christian faith (irregardless of sect)

I mean, that's literally what I said.

OK, sorry for that then.

I'm speaking as a protestant. I'll correct my language and say that most protestants don't believe in depicting Jesus as still being on the cross.

The system that allows billionaires to exist ain’t changing, and if it does none of y’all will have anything to do with it. Instead of being so damn negative sit back and enjoy Black Excellence.

Majority of black and dark skinned native/Asian billionaires would meet the colloquial criteria of self made simply because they belong to the two diasporas most pillaged by other groups of people.

That doesn't excuse the exploitation those individual members derived their fortune from, but it does highlight the inherent racial caste system of feudalistic capitalism in that those groups of people by design were always meant to be the serfs of.

Wah?

I wonder how Nep feels about billionaire Asians. Do they remain white adjacent? Or do they get to join her exclusive poc club?

OK, sorry for that then.

I'm speaking as a protestant. I'll correct my language and say that most protestants don't believe in depicting Jesus as still being on the cross.

This still doesn't disprove what a lot of protestants believe about depicting Jesus on the cross. It's sacrilege.

There are sects of Christianity that aren't Catholic or Protestant, dumbass.

I like the guy correcting him talking about the core tenants of the christianity apartments

I agree with the general anti billionaire sentiment. But feels like the nasty drive by comments are extra. You can’t have an ethical billionaire but she’s not Musk who grew up privileged in apartheid.
She’s a maligned minority who grew up in an ex slave colony and made the bulk of her money through promoting body and skin diversity and fun pop songs.

Reminds me the Osaka post where a usually supportive in mental health group went full “Fuck that ———, she’s rich, who cares about her anxiety and depression’. And she’s nowhere a Billionaire.

Generally the world, era included, is terrible when it comes to understanding and empathy to Black women and its almost fascinating to see how easy it is to switch to a ‘Fuck her!’. A critique is understood, but many of y’all putting extra sauce on it and I see you.

There was quite a bit of sauce for that Jew broad and her 'measly' $4M donation for making a white version of Living Single.

Child labor though? Eh... Now's not the time to judge.

Yuji Naka is such a petty little bastard. Honestly I almost feel sorry for him - to have a career as long and storied as he does, only to spend the last few years of it on Twitter being a petty asshole sniping at everyone else is just kind of embarrassing.

I just deleted the three songs I like from her from my collection.

I don’t use the term ‘hero’ lightly 

When will he delete the songs from her he doesn't like?

Actually people are right to be suspicious when a lot of post histories are full of praise for predominantly male and/or white industries but are now suddenly really peeved when a black woman is mentioned in literally the same way.

It's not about the hypocrisy gotcha, it's about marginalized people who have bad-faith attacks thrown at them by people who do not in fact levy those criticisms equally.

Where is all of this praise for white billionaires? Seems like just about everyone is being pretty consistent here.
